The difference between Japan and the United States is kind of startling. In Japan, at this point the permissible level of radioactivity in food is 100 becquerels per kilogram [...] In the United States the permissible level is 1,200. So Japan’s limits are 12 times stronger than ours, which means that we could very certainly be importing food from Japan that’s considered unfit to eat there.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan

I would avoid Pacific/Alaskan seafood also... or take a Geiger-counter to the store.

Imagine the look on the other shoppers faces...I may go buy one just to do this.

Look at the facts of the world. You see a continual and progressive triumph of the right. I do not pretend to understand the moral universe, the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways. I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. But from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.

Nuclear power generation process converts Uranium into many different radioactive elements (Argonne National Laboratory).

The Fukushima Daiichi plant has about 1744 tons of spent nuclear fuel and under 100 tons of fuel in the reactors. The irradiated nuclear fuel contains the following approximate quantities of radioactive chemicals that represent a health risk when disbursed into the environment.

Nuclear materials are incredibly hazardous. Nuclear fuel is replaced in rounds of 1/3 of the total about every 1000 days.

Radioactive chemicals produce considerable heat in spent/irradiated fuel after power production is shut down. Nuclear waste cannot be buried because of heat produced by ongoing radioactive decay.

Spent fuel rods must remain submerged in water for decades.

Molybdenum - lasts a few months - does not vaporize or dissolve Iodine - lasts half a year - carried easily by water and air - vaporizes at oven temperatures Cesium - lasts several hundred years - dissolves in water Plutonium - lasts millions of years - particles carried by water

This do not mean it happened!

True ... but even if Japan does it so honestly (your compatriot says it isn't all one would hope for) there are other countries downstream of that, which have lower standards.

Gundersen told SolarIMG that high-level people he knows in the State Department said Hillary Clinton signed a pact with her counterpart in Japan agreeing for the United States to continue buying food from Japan, despite that food not being properly tested for radioactive materials.

"So we are not sampling the food coming into the United States," he said, repeating, "The US government has come up with a decision at the highest levels of the State Department, as well as other departments who made a decision to downplay Fukushima."

In April, the month after the powerful tsunami and earthquake crippled Japan including its nuclear power plant, "Hillary Clinton signed a pact with Japan that she agreed there is no problem with Japanese food supply and we will continue to buy them so we are not sampling food coming in from Japan" according to Gundersen.

Obama is a joke and the state of our national affairs confirms this. YES he came into office taking on alot of problems, but unfortunatly his answers to those problems did not help. Sorry you tried but goodbye, but Nope! the US elects him again. The definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior expecting different results. This is no longer the US that we were all raised to know and I think it is going to get worse before it gets better. But, sometimes you have to tear things down to build them back up. All I know is that I will fight for the rights that I have and I will die keeping that freedom, if I have to.

And then people wonder why we have this ten fold increase in Cancer in the United States.

ANY exposure to radiation increases your chances of getting cancer. There is a new DNA caused Autism that is directly linked to Radiation in the environment.

THE MOST RECENT STANDARDS FOR RADIATION IN FOOD WERE SET IN 1991. I THINK THAT WAS BUSH, NOT OBAMA.

Instead of doing much to try to protect their citizens from Fukushima, Japan, the U.S. and the EU all just raised the radiation levels they deem “safe”.

Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen says that high-level friends in the State Department told him that Hillary Clinton signed a pact with her counterpart in Japan agreeing that the U.S. will continue buying seafood from Japan, despite that food not being tested for radioactive materials [see this].

And the Department of Energy is trying to replace the scientifically accepted model of the dangers of low dose radiation based on voodoo science. Specifically, DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley Labs used a mutant line of human cells in a petri dish which was able to repair damage from low doses of radiation, and extrapolated to the unsupported conclusion that everyone is immune to low doses of radiation….

Indeed:

American and Canadian authorities have virtually stopped monitoring airborne radiation, and are not testing fish for radiation. (Indeed, the EPA reacted to Fukushima by raising “acceptable” radiation levels.)

I know of a lady who owns a Geiger-counter and went into Costco to test the fish from the Marshal Islands...They spoted her whipping it out trying to test it and threw her ass out. And no test either!

The Terhertz scanners also unzip DNA causing permanent, muti-generational disruption with cumulative damage from DNA perm. damage, and further assault with radiation.

When you opt out, they ake youstand right ext to the scanners for luggage,their rubber drapes minimize radiation, but still one is forced to stand in an area that still receives radiation, and escapes their leaded, rubber 'shields'

Then make the stop. They blew up Fukushima on purpose for shits and giggles and just because they could.

They will poison and torture you for the same reason.

Fight or die.

Don't ask why. They don't make sense they are monsters who can do what they want because they stole the world's wealth in a wanton fashion and that only fuels more sadism, what is wrong with that picture.
